Good News! You're Powerless!

Written by craig

You say you're depressed? 'Bummer, but this note's not for you. It's for all the husbands, wives, boyfriends and girlfriends out there who put up with you people.

(Okay now, 'a little caveat. If you're about as faithful as a cat in heat, or if you tend to get violent or drunk or high, then this, Bud, is not for you. If you really love them, protect them by getting yourself some help. Now, 'back to our regular programmimg.)

So, you're stuck with someone whose emotions fly around like a golf ball in a bathroom. 'Been there, done that, and done that, and done that, and . . . Well, you don't need to get the picture because you have a whole album of your own. Anyway, here comes the brilliant bit of wisdom just for you.

"You didn't cause it and you can't make it go away" The tears, the anger, all the stuff that "if only" you'd change then everything would be much better . . . no, it won't. 

A lot of times the pain shows up some time after the last  big "if only." You know what I mean. The young woman says "if only I can graduate/get married/have a baby/whatever, then I'll finally really be happy." Then, they graduate/get married/have a baby/whatever, and find out that the pain has only grown. Well. it has to be someone's fault and the most convenient if-only, the one most accessable and most "socially acceptable" is the husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend.

One more time . . .

You didn't cause it and you can't make it go away.

I know, it doesn't change anything but, every once in awhile, it lets you feel a little better about yourself and what you got yourself into.

God Bless,
